Wonderful!!!

I love aquariums and this place is so fun and the staff were friendly. I couldn't make this as a love though because other patrons are disrespectful and disgusting. They need to have a secondary exit that doesn't take you past the touch pool, especially for those of us with shellfish allergies. I had to dodge fish coated wet children and their horrible parents and giant strollers. It nearly ruined the experience for me being scared for my life because other people don't teach their goblins to keep their hands to themselves.

First and foremost, the staff I interacted with were lovely. That said, this experience was disheartening at best. At first glance, everything looks nice, but if you look beyond the surface, there are many issues with this attraction. One of the first aquariums you encounter showcases cichlids; however, African and South American species are housed in the same enclosure. While both are technically cichlids, their natural habitats are on different continents, and they require different pH levels and water conditions. I knew right then that I was in for an interesting experience. Other exhibits revealed similarly concerning issues, including tangs with head and lateral line erosion, a fish with pop-eye disease (conditions often caused by stress and poor water quality), and enclosures that felt too small for some of the animals. I’m no expert, but I know enough to recognize that either corners are being cut due to limited operating revenue, or those in charge are not fully aware of proper animal care. Beyond the animals, the attraction is filled with artificial plants that are extremely dusty—noticeably so, even in the low lighting. This isn’t a matter of missing a week or two of cleaning; it looks as though it hasn’t been dusted in years. The facility is in serious need of a thorough cleaning. I left feeling more saddened than when I arrived. To me, the experience felt unethical. Please do better for the sake of the animals in your care.

Had a great date with my niece and nephew. Pretty decent aquarium if you are looking for something to do without having to fight Dallas traffic and parking. Small discount if you buy tickets online. For a little extra, you get a view of the behind the scene stuff they do to take care of the animals. They also have a rehabilitation program for injured animals to get release back into the wild. We even learned about the injuries that they sustain which can prevent them from going back oit safely. Eye opening for my niece and nephew to learn how we Humans hurt them. We had a great time and was still awe inspiring to see what they had. Highly recommend a visit and your visit can help grow their programs!
